The man that fanatically sang the racist hooligan slogan "Let's go whites" in my face, the man that asked me to get a dick tattooed in between my breast with cum up my neck and the man that never paid me a salary.2017-12-06T16:05:01Z2017-12-06T16:05:01ZNadia Narejohttps://killjoy.dk/p/nadiatag:killjoy.dk,2017-10-09:107Burka ban in Denmark, neo-nazi tech bros, Holocaust-deniers.

Also - I can now fully attest to the fact that it is a proper silly idea to not let people vote on things that impact their lives. Voting is awesome!2017-09-07T21:31:32Z2017-09-07T21:31:32ZAlice Minorhttps://killjoy.dk/p/Alicetag:killjoy.dk,2017-08-21:10324 hours of racism and transmisogyny in CopenhagenNadia has been through 24 fucked up hours of racism and transmisogyny. She is pissed off and shaken and wants to channel this rage. I love her and I love to write - let’s go. The psychological effects of unrelenting racism and transmisogynist micro-aggressions deflect encapsulation: gas lighting, self-doubt, anxiety.2017-08-21T11:15:27Z2017-08-21T11:15:27ZAlice Minorhttps://killjoy.dk/p/Alicetag:killjoy.dk,2017-07-27:100Gender pillowWhen you think you know something But you’re so fucking tired of this shit Sinuses pulsing, channeling a rhythm both offbeat and harmonious2017-07-27T13:58:21Z2017-07-27T13:58:21ZElphias Dogehttps://killjoy.dk/p/elphiastag:killjoy.dk,2017-06-13:64Casual bigotry in Danish schoolsCasual bigotry amount kids when you're an adult supposed to be leading/teaching/caring for them.2017-06-13T20:08:38Z2017-06-13T20:08:38ZAnonymoustag:killjoy.dk,2017-06-13:63Kids, social hierarchy, and the sense of injustice Kids are amazing and kids are fucking horrible.

If we all already acknowledge the fact that gender is fluid, and the fact that the binary is bullshit, why are we pissing on folks who acknowledge that fluidity and change within themselves?2016-08-03T16:38:04Z2016-08-03T16:38:04ZRowen Quincehttps://killjoy.dk/p/rowentag:killjoy.dk,2016-06-09:10PRESS RELEASE: SlutWalk 2016 comes to CopenhagenSlutWalk is intended as a celebration of own choice, sexuality, personal ownership of expression and mutual respect. To call someone a 'slut', a 'skank' or a 'cheap whore' is to exclude them, and can be at worst be used in the justification of rape. SlutWalk challenges the idea ...2016-06-09T14:14:49Z2016-06-09T14:14:49ZSlutWalk Copenhagenhttps://killjoy.dk/org/slutwalkcphtag:killjoy.dk,2016-05-15:24Transpolitisk Forum Press Release: Hold your horsesAt the same time the state of Denmark monopolized access to hormones and surgeries and turned up the pathologization one more level. No one mentioned this apart from a small group of transgender activists, largely silenced by the main stream media, who had just a few months before celebrated Denmark as a progressive state.2016-05-15T12:20:28Z2016-05-15T12:20:28ZTranspolitisk Forumhttps://killjoy.dk/org/transpoltag:killjoy.dk,2016-05-12:39Danish Minister Of Health To Push For De-Psychiatrization Of Transgender PersonsDuring nightly news last night, health care minister Sophie Løhde pledged on national radio to push for WHO to remove “Transsexualism” from their list of psychiatric disorders and further guaranteed that she will work toward removing diagnosis from the Danish system by January 1st.2016-05-12T16:55:11Z2016-05-12T16:55:11ZLaura Mølgaard Tamshttps://killjoy.dk/p/lauraAlice Minorhttps://killjoy.dk/p/Alicetag:killjoy.dk,2016-05-11:20No-Cis-Men SeparatismThere was a time when I loved this idea and these spaces. Cis men take up way too much space in the world. Still, this approach certainly doesn’t preclude other varieties of bullshit – and that’s the stuff I’d like to interrogate.2016-05-11T11:30:37Z2016-05-11T11:30:37ZAlice Minorhttps://killjoy.dk/p/Alicetag:killjoy.dk,2016-03-01:21Removing the diagnosis: Not the answer?It makes sense to retain a diagnosis for transgender people to ensure the right to this medical care. I’d love to help contest the paradigm that deems transgender a disorder by highlighting that our sick world’s refusal to to accept trans people is the problem. But in the meantime a lot of trans people need health care.2016-03-01T17:44:18Z2016-03-01T17:44:18ZAlice Minorhttps://killjoy.dk/p/Alicetag:killjoy.dk,2016-02-07:22As a Danish trans woman, ‘The Danish Girl’ makes me feel ridiculedBlockbuster ‘The Danish Girl’ has been praised for taking up trans issues in a major Hollywood production. Unfortunately, this film is just one more in a long line of tragic, stereotypical portrayals of trans experience. Laura Tams wrote a danish review of the film for Alt for Damerne. This is Alice Minor's translation.2016-02-07T15:33:11Z2016-02-07T15:33:11ZLaura Mølgaard Tamshttps://killjoy.dk/p/lauratag:killjoy.dk,2016-02-06:23Why does trans still have to be so tragic?Why not tell stories that insist that there isn’t anything wrong with being trans instead of again and again obsessing over the things that you, the people not living our lives, imagine are hard for us?2016-02-06T18:37:16Z2016-02-06T18:37:16ZAxel Pedersen-Nielsenhttps://killjoy.dk/p/axeltag:killjoy.dk,2015-07-21:40Queer Normative FrustrationsMasculinity is read as more serious than femininity in the mainstream. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this also happens in queer communities. When I hear my queer, anarchist lesbian friend advised to cut off her long hair or have to scour a queer party for people presenting femininity I feel unseen – and sometimes, unreal.2015-07-21T12:39:46Z2015-07-21T12:39:46ZAlice Minorhttps://killjoy.dk/p/Alicetag:killjoy.dk,2015-06-07:31Transgender activists invite themselves to speak at IDAHOT 2015Originally only cisgender speakers were invited to IDAHOT – The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia but two transpeople invited themselves up – with backing from the event’s planners, Copenhagen Pride.2015-06-07T20:02:10Z2015-06-07T20:02:10ZLaura Mølgaard Tamshttps://killjoy.dk/p/laura
